Free
Is that too much to ask for?
One day
To be myself
To be by myself
I'm not a little kid anymore
Why can't they see that?
I'm not afraid anymore
I can be on my own
I need to be
Free as a bird
I need to spread my wings
And fly away

I wrote this while sitting on a hill outside my school. I saw a hawk flying and thought to myself, "Why can't I just be free?" I hope people see that us teenagers need a little space in life.
